Abstract

See full text

An apparatus includes a carriage, a first tooth, a second tooth, a feed block and a drive element. The first and second teeth are shaped for breaking bonds and attached to a first side of the carriage. The first and second teeth are spaced apart and generally parallel to each other. The drive element moves the carriage away from the feed block so that the first and second teeth break bonds when they encounter them. A method for removing a bonded component from a structure includes positioning a tool having first and second teeth between the component and the structure. The teeth are positioned between trailing edges of the component and the structure. The method includes driving the teeth from the trailing edges of the structure towards a leading edge of the structure to break bonds between the component and the structure so that the component can be removed.
